Who Is Really Fascist?

So, Geert Wilders in back in the UK, having just shown his film Fitna at the House of Lords. Outside Parliament, about 200 protesters jeered and chanted "Fascist thugs off our streets." Police scuffled with several demonstrators who tried to block a street to prevent a demonstration of pro-Wilders activists from the English Defense League from approaching Parliament.

And that's all the information you need. Because it is clear who the real fascists are here. It is the group that has tried to shut down all points of view that disagree with their own, and it was the thuggish group who police were forced to "scuffle" with. Meanwhile, Wilders, in his speech in front of peers, spoke calmly and articulately about freedom and democracy, while his supporters in the EDL engaged in no thuggish violence.

As an antidote to the stupidity, here is some truthiness from Wilders, who states explicitly that he opposes Islam because it is....fascist.
